Rahul Gandhi's dig at Modi; Narendra Modi's attack on PM for ignoring North-East: Who said what in rallies today...

Bardoli, Gujarat: Rahul Gandhi today attacked his arch rival Narendra Modi who is known to flaunt his modest beginnings as a tea seller.

"The entire India does some work. Some make tea, some drive taxis, some are farmers. We need to respect everyone. But don't respect those who take you for a ride," the Congress vice-president said at a rally in Modi's turf.

Targeting Narendra Modi on the legacy of Sardar Patel, Rahul Gandhi said on Friday that Gujarat leaders do not read history.

"Sardar Patel said that RSS is a poisonous entity. It was the ideology of RSS that killed Mahatma Gandhi. Sardar Patel wanted to ban RSS. It seems Gujarat leaders never read history books or Sardar Patel's ideology," Rahul Gandhi said.

The Congress vice-president was addressing a rally in Bardoli, Gujarat.

Rahul Gandhi also said that BJP was not sincere in its fight against corruption. It was the Congress party which got the Lokpal Bill passed in Parliament, he added. On the other hand, Narendra Modi did not let Lokayukta come to Gujarat for nine years, Rahul Gandhi said.

"If BJP is really against corruption, why does it not help Congress pass the 6 anti-corruption bills in Parliament?" Rahul Gandhi asked.

Taking a jibe at Modi's claims of once him being a tea vendor, Rahul Gandhi said," We respect tea vendors, farmers, labourers and others, but not those who makes fools out of people".
